How many hours apart are BST and AWST?

AWST is 7 hours ahead of BST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 7 hours to get the other — so a call between London and Perth is always 7 hours apart.

What's the current time in AWST?

Right now the time in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is Tuesday, June 30, 2026 · 1:53:59 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live AWST clock.

And what time is it in BST?

And in British Summer Time (BST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 6:53:59 PM. Compare the two and the 7 hours gap is easy to see.

What's the best time for a BST–AWST call?

For example, a 9:00 AM BST meeting takes place at 4:00 PM AWST. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.

Does daylight saving time change the BST–AWST difference?

The labels BST and AWST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.

How accurate is this BST to AWST conversion?

We don’t guess. BST and AWST times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours ahead of BST is AWST?

AWST is 7 hours ahead of BST — a fixed 7 hours difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.

What time is it in AWST when it's 12:00 PM BST?

When it's 12:00 PM (noon) BST, it's 7:00 PM AWST.

Do BST or AWST use daylight saving time?

British Summer Time (BST) observes daylight saving, alternating with GMT; Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving.

Why might the real-world BST–AWST difference change during the year?

The labels BST and AWST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But British Summer Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want GMT to AWST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
